Important Patent DecIsIon.s Is,

WASHINGTON, D. G., August S.-The
Commissioner Of Patents has directed that
an extension Of patent Tor certain futing
machine be extended seven years from
June !, 1888. This will be the first case
in ten years in which an extension Of a
patent has been granted. The last case
was in 1877, when the patent on wood
pulp was extended for seven years, max
ing the total life Of the patent twenty-four
years. This extension of the life OF a
patent was at that time condemned by
popular opinion, and for that reason no
enabling acts OF this character have been
adopted by Congress. S,ii!5 i55l
The Commissioner has rendered deci-
sion on one Of tho most important ques-
tions which has recently come before the
office. The decision involves the techni-
cal construction OF claims in patents, the
employment therein OF abstract phraseolo-

interest in the developments. The people
Of this country want nothing more than
